Surfactants are an essential ingredient for cosmetic, toiletries and personal care products for enhancing their performance. Dimeric surfactants demonstrate superiority compared to conventional surfactants in all areas of application. Dimeric surfactants are extremely promising for utilization in various cosmetic formulations viz. shampoo, lotions, creams, conditioners etc. These surfactants po...

MISHRA, D. K. 2005. Germplasm variability in neem (Azadirachta indica). A variant neem (Azadirachta indica) tree, growing in the Arid Forest Research Institute (AFRI), Jodhpur, India was compared with the nearby growing normal tree and a neem tree from Thailand of the same age. The tree has now attained the height of 6 m and collar diameter of 38 cm. The tree differed morphologically, viz. leaf...

Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) is an economic method of biometrics because of the availability of the low cost and powerful processors. Results of ASR are highly dependent on database, i.e., the results obtained in an ASR system are meaningless if the recording conditions are not of standard. In this paper, a methodology and a typical experimental setup used for development of corpora for ...

Wavelet neural networks (WNNs) were used to investigate the influence of operational variables in the soda-ethanol pulping of oil palm fronds (viz. NaOH concentration (10-30%), ethanol concentration (15-75%), cooking temperature (150-190 oC), and time (60-180 min)) on the resulting pulp and paper properties (viz. screened yield, kappa number, tensile index, and tear index). Performance assessme...
